ACKNOWLEDGMENT OF DUTY AS AN
ASHI CERTIFICATION COMMITTEE MEMBER
Created June 15, 2010
Please sign and return with the ACC Matrix form.
To: All prospective nominees to the ASHI Certification Committee:
If elected as a committee member, you are legally and ethically required to fulfill a number of duties and obligations. The ACC and ASHI want you to understand these duties and obligations in advance. We also request your signature at the bottom of this document to show your understanding and acceptance.
1. Duty of loyalty. A committee member must not exploit the ACC and /or ASHI’s opportunities or misuse inside information. A committee member must account to the ACC and/or ASHI for any profit received as a result of being a committee member. A committee member may not obtain a private or secret profit as a result of his/her official position. A committee member has a duty to act in good faith for the best interests of the organizations.
2. Conflict of interest. A conflict of interest transaction is one in which a committee member has a financial or direct personal interest in a matter being considered, or in a proposed contract or transaction in which the ACC and/or ASHI may be a party. A committee member should not vote upon a matter in which the individual has an adverse interest. The committee member must fully disclose to the committee any personal or financial interest he/she has in a matter being considered by the committee before the committee votes. After disclosure, the action may only be approved by a majority of disinterested members.
3. Corporate opportunity. An ACC committee member is under a (fiduciary) duty not to use an ACC or ASHI business opportunity for his/her own personal gain. This is related to the concept of undivided loyalty to the ACC and ASHI. Thus, an insider should not use his/her inside position to benefit his/herself by seizing a business opportunity available to and suitable to the ACC or ASHI. Additional restrictions are extended to situations in which the committee member competes against the ACC or ASHI.
4. Duty of care. A committee member must utilize reasonable skills in the exercise of his/her responsibilities. A committee member must exercise the same care and skill that an ordinarily prudent person would exercise under similar circumstances in his/her own personal affairs. By accepting office, committee members undertake to give his/her best judgment to the ACC and ASHI.
5. Confidentiality. In general, a committee member should treat as confidential all matters involving the ACC and ASHI until there has been public disclosure or unless the information is a matter of public record or common knowledge. The presumption of confidentiality should apply to all current information about legitimate ACC or ASHI activities.
A committee member shall discharge his/her duties (1) in good faith; (2) with the care an ordinarily prudent person in a like position would exercise under similar circumstances; and (3) in a manner he/she reasonably believes to be in the best interest of the ACC and ASHI.
I hereby understand and agree to abide by the above if I am elected as a member of the ACC.
